One of the fantastic things that our mentor from Microsoft Research, Mike, does is to determine feedrates and the like in advance for the most common materials. The lab we use is shared by a lot of people at MSR, not all of whom are versed in machine shop operation, so by providing as much information to them (and us) as possible, Mike really goes a long way toward making sure everything runs as efficiently and as safely as possible.
I'm reading CNCZone.com now. The more we can learn before the machine is up and running, the better we'll be. We have a lot of work we want to do.
